Default 6'2" and 2011 Mustang?

I was wondering how do the 6'2" + people like the leg room in the 2011. My friend let me drive his but the my legs were cramped. He says the seat was all the way back, but I think it could have gone back more. So how's the leg room in the 2011 5.0's?

-Also, I plan on getting automatic transmission since theres a lot of traffic where I live. Am I anything from stick shift?

I have a 2010 which is the same car, different engine. I'm 6'4" and have plenty of space.

Nice, I think the seat was all the way up, cause my head was about to touch the roof, and thesmokingtires did a review on the mustang and said he had plenty of head room and he's tall.

this car is definitely friendly to the big 'n tall crowd, lots of space for driver and front passenger

Thanks everyone, now I just have to decide color. It's between dark grey and black.

I think you left something out there.

I am 6'1 and I have knee problems. The 2011 has plenty of room. The seat is also high enough where my knees aren't cramped at an angle like it did in my 1998 Mustang.

I'm 5.7 and I feel that my knees are too close to the steering column as it is...

How are all you tall mutants don't have a problem with this?

My dad fits fine and he's 6'4, but I see what you are saying too Pascal.
